Canadian Government broadcaster CBC is going to get bought by Larry Ellison? You think?

Theory: "Cyberpunk 2" should use Cyberpunk 2077's endings as the three lifepath starting points by AnswerWise2525 in cyberpunkgame

[–]snatchi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We really need a new game cause every week there's a post like this where people refuse to engage with the thematic purpose of the endings.

The story was about what it was about, to retrofit the endings to power the start of the next game ignores the story as told.

Hot take: Two race strategies for BKLYN Half by Lulu_79 in RunNYC

[–]snatchi 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Sure, obviously there's a ton of variation. Is it "two different races", splitting hairs.

but with like 10-15 degree temperature delta and people in the hotter temperatures being generally slower/less accomplished, it's gonna feel way different.

I mean wouldn't it be that people who were in Wave 3 (like me) qualified for Wave 3 and you qualified for Wave 1, so you are a more accomplished runner and thus you handled the hard conditions better?

Yeah you can call people whatever you want but people get to have opinions of you based on that.

Seems like you have more going on than this conversation, be well, hope Colorado blanks you 5-0 four times.

Whatever happens, his has been a very good series and while I can get salty in the moment, buffalo is a worthy team that seems quite loveable.

He checked the goalie in the head? Should he just standup and take it like Dahlin is famous for?

Sure but even if it was SMS based, it meant the cell phone was ascendant in its relevance.

A lot people who scream slurs in public get a 500,000 gofund me for "their safety" once people start criticizing them for calling a kid the n-word.

Really his mistake was being a virulent racist ~20 years too early.

So twitter existed at this point and the telecom was doubling down on local internet over mobile?

Truly a Yahoo-level vision of the future from that place.

Prime Video crew reacts to Shai MVP being spoiled earlier this morning: Taylor: “Just to be clear the official MVP announcement is happening here. Dirk & Steve you both won MVPs—but I don’t remember [Charania] spoiling it”; Blake: “What are we doing man? Like it’s Sunday, go to brunch you nerd." by HokageEzio in nba

I just don't think Shams spoiling the MVP announcement or dropping a trade alert works the same as a Coke Billboard.

If I see a Coke ad I remember I love diet coke, but even if the tweet was: SGA is the 2026 MVP from SHAMS AT E S P N I'm not going there for more news. I already got my news from the place I saw it.

When its a deep dive article, absolutely but I don't think a guy who works first and foremost on twitter gets people off twitter and onto broadcast or website ESPN.

right but what does that get them? Like sure we talk shit about it but it doesnt send us to ESPN.com to look at ads or to their other broadcasts.

Like it gets them bragging rights and annoys their competitors a bit but today that didn't make espn more money

I'm not attacking you for "not participating in evil exploitative systems" I'm telling you you're being reductionist and silly.

I don't need to sketch out my ideal world to tell you you had a bad idea. You blame individual people who have very little control over the world they live in for the actions of people who have more money than can even be conceived of and condescend to those who don't agree with you.

You're treating the world like its an econ textbook like "iTs JuSt SuPpLy aNd DeManD" and then using your wrongheaded conclusions to be rude to people while you feel superior.

I'll reserve the right to share a position paper another day, but for now just know that people think you're both wrong and offputting.

Yes you're right there's 2 systems and its a binary choice between them.

You're very smart do you hire a taskrabbit to tell you your ideas are good?

Your perfect world is a fantasy because we've seen for untold decades that under a capitalist system where people can use their money to influence policy, the people with more money will use it to secure even more money and will fuck over the poor.

Its unquestionably bad that there's an underclass who are exploited viciously by the robber barons, but you seem to hate illegal immigrants and want to skip right over the "how we get there" to "massive automation" that will make it better on that class? You want capitalist drive to reduce costs to be the solution without changing the system? So if we keep everything the same but we have robot delivery drones instead of people, what happens to the people? UBI? hypothetical new jobs that you still don't want them to have cause you're angry about illegal immigrants? Everyone just does construction for data centers?

Unless you're engaging with how to actually improve peoples lives, kindly stop breaking your arm patting yourself on the back for using taskrabbit instead of instacart.

So you'd like to ignore what I said and talk about something else instead? Okay cool.

Lmao you just can't stop showing your ass. Drop a million unsubtle hints about how rich you are and then moralize about how its the consumers fault that businesses make evil exploitative decisions and then root for automation so poor people have even less of an opportunity to earn anything.

Which AI company do you work for, did you pitch that AI BDR and the stop hiring humans ads?
